I honestly am not aware of anything.
She's done a lot of advocacy for minority and low income (i.e mostly minority) causes as First Lady. She's connected with community leaders in the AA community, built good relationships, worked behind the scenes .That's why they're loyal to her. The only thing really I've heard from Bernie supporters as to what he's done was getting arrested at a civil rights rally in the 60's....that's literally it. And they've used fake or disproved pictures trying to prove that point too.

This actually proves my point. He mostly tacks on Amendments to larger bills, and was really never involved in any legislation that would be considered "signature pieces". My point that no one knows anything about Bernie is still very true right now. He is at his ceiling for numbers, and the floor below him could be extremely steep once the GOP goes to town on him. Remember he's only still in this race because of Hillary's likability, if Biden were running this race would already be over. Most people haven't looked past the surface on Bernie. I bet he gets bludgeoned pretty badly by the GOP machine once they do look past the surface.
